As a pedestrian in San Francisco I have much worse experiences with cyclists than I do with cars, despite cars outnumbering cyclists, mostly because of cyclists running reds and taking shortcuts by getting on crosswalks and sidewalks.
- shuckles 7y agoUnfortunately, the 25 pedestrians killed by cars every year in San Francisco are not here to share their anecdata.
- opportune 7y agoSure, a collision with a car is more likely to kill me than a collision with a bike, but I do think I am significantly more likely to be in a collision with a bicyclist than a car. Cars do not often drive up on the sidewalk or drive 4 inches away from you at 20mph on a crosswalk
- shuckles 7y agoBicyclists also don’t routinely drive into buildings and destroy them. And this is all while working with a tenth of the public space we give cars!
